 adoption of some unSolved. and unsolveable financial policy, that all the ills of human family will be avoided and that their ,nt' will
 he fully supplied, is aboutas lii ely to happen, as the Missippi River is to change it's course, and run ! from the Gulf of Mexico iuto the { Arctic sea. Labor and unceasing toll will bring all that is necessary
 for our comfort and happiness. Fortune smiles on those who roll up their sleeves and put their Sho
 uiders 10 the wheel. Mr fIarrrr says that during the lrst ten N...'rS i he has traN,lcd mnrr ;IiIp :}JOO 70 miles and made more than four thousand speeches. Is this the I kind ot labor that make two spears of grass grow where but one grew l before? Speech making is all right i proper, and beneficial if made by the right kind of man Gt the right place and on proper subject. But we submit, that MT Harper is not a true representatlv or exponent
 of the laboring man. The no. blest thing in the world Is hon
 est labor. Wise labor brings order out of chaos: just what existed all over this country twenty years ago. Labor rearS cities, it adorus the
 earth with architectural monum- ents; i, whitens the sea with the white wings of commerce; it binds continents together with the fast
 holding bands of railroads aud tel
 egraphs; it produces mighty works of genius in prose aud verse, which make glad the hearts of man for ever. Work, therefore, with pride and 9ladneSs, for thereby yol will be united by a common bond with all the best and nOblest who have lived, who are now liviyg, or who shall ever be born. All of Mr Harper's efforts go to array labor against capital and to impress his hearers. as well as he can that they ought to get along without work or labor-that the bond holder, government, or somebody else is robbing them of large share of their inalienable rights Fellow tlllers of the soil, so long as you fail to look to your own interest, and, expect relief through the medium of some long winded
 preamble, or the high sounding and meaningless phrases fpolltical platform, put forth so as to face to the four corners of the globe e- then you are gone world without end-Amen. Noma has the right to expect to good fortune unless he go work and deserve it. The lucky man is the one who gets up at five every morning and does good days work every day ill the
 week. This kind of labor will ride in chariot'drawn by the breathless ] tireless horse. Said a brother of the distinguished Edmund Burk, Il have been wondering how Ned has contrived to mOnopOlize all l the talents of the family but then l remember when we were at play he was always at work" The la. bors of such men as Mir. Harper. out among the toiling masses. is the prime cause of the numerous strikes in this and other countries
 which is resulting so disasterously
 to both labor and capital. We
 say away with all such falsitiers of truth and history. The man who i is so reckless, and fanatical as to stand up in the afternoon of the nineteenth century, and more than twenty years after the close of the great rebellion in this and tell an enlightened people that we are in a worse condition socially
 morally, and financially than we were at the end of the war is so absolutely absurd and false that no sane man will believe it. When we take an extended view over the state and territories of the United States to day, we see more solid
 firm, costly, and substantial i'm provemeuts going on, than ever existed at any time in the former history of the country. There is large increase in net earnings of all the leading trades and protcs- sions and manufacturing entcrpri- ses in the United States, over any former years business. How
 much better t would be for Mir Harper 10 speak words to hls fellow creatures, that would look like apples of gold in pictures of a; ;1,rn, '' Nr,~,,sp
